Try a little Parks and Recreation fun! inter is here and it’s time to prepare for colder, shorter days ahead. For many of us, this season can lead to hibernating at home, dragging our feet, experiencing boredom, and becoming stir crazy with the whole family indoors. Sometimes it can even lead to worse symptoms. Rather than being cooped up inside until springtime, The MarylandNational Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCCPC), Department of Parks and Recreation reminds you that this season can be a great time for embracing fun and innovative recreation activities. With hundreds of parks, exciting events and interesting programs, classes and activities, the Department of Parks and Recreation has everything you need to stay engaged and entertained all year! Are you or anyone you know on the verge of experiencing the winter blues? Just follow our tips; we promise you a brighter, more enriching season ahead!
M-NCPPC’s Tips for Beating the Winter Blues
Avoid staying indoors watching television by planning a social outing with friends and family. Why not take the group hiking, biking, skating, walking or jogging on an M-NCPPC trail? For example, Lake Artemesia Natural Area in Berwyn Heights has miles of scenic trails that are perfect for your recreation needs. Talk while you walk!
Get e! activ Being active is a great way to relieve the stresses of life. Not only will your mood improve, but your energy level will increase too. Try ice skating at an M-NCPPC ice rink. The activity provides a great workout and is plenty of fun! Tucker Road Ice Rink offers four types of public session walk-ins during the week: Ice Skating Super Saver Sessions on Mondays-Fridays (except Thursdays), General Ice Skate Sessions on Saturdays, Family Ice Skating Sessions on Sundays, and Bumper Cars on Ice on Saturdays & Sundays. Turn to page 17 for a list of sports facilities, or visit www.pgparks.com for more information about ice skating.
Feeling cooped up and lacking vitamin D?
OuGt et side
Spending too much time indoors can cause you to become depressed and develop cabin fever due to low serotonin levels. Bundle up and go outside for fresh air and sunshine! Take the whole family on a quick walk in a nearby park, or join a naturalist on a guided discovery hike. Turn to pages 10–13 for a list of nature centers, parks and trails, or visit pgparks.com for more details. Want to find a park near you? Use the “Find a Park” application on our web site!

First presented by WPG in the fall of 2009, Mentor + Mentee II is a continuation on the theme and emphasizes the gallery’s Maryland membership.

Hey, Boo: Harper Lee & To Kill a Mockingbird
Major Charity E. Adams leading African American members of the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps, ca 1945. —Courtesy of the National Archives for Black Women’s History
This exhibition highlights African American service and support of the US Military from the Revolutionary War to the Vietnam War. During this two hundred year period, African Americans have fought, worked and sacrificed in support of their country. “Fighting on Two Fronts” explores their efforts in the changing face of discrimination at home and abroad.
This documentary illuminates the phenomenon behind Lee’s first and only novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, and the 1962 film version. Offering an unprecedented look into Lee’s mysterious life, Emmy®-winning filmmaker Mary McDonagh Murphy interviews Lee’s friends and family, who share intimate recollections, anecdotes and biographical details for the first time: her rise from small-town Alabama girl to famous author, her tumultuous friendship with Truman Capote, and the origin of her most memorable characters.

Resident Registration and Fees The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission policy gives priority to Prince George’s County residents during program and class enrollment; it also increases registration fees by approximately 20 percent for non-residents, or those living outside Prince George’s and Montgomery Counties. This procedure ensures that the citizens who fund these programs through their tax dollars have the first option to enroll. After the priority registration period, registrations are accepted from residents of all jurisdictions. The fee schedule applies to all Commission programs and facilities in Prince George’s County, with a few exceptions such as performance tickets and historic site admission fees. *NOTE: Full payment is due at registration unless a class or program has a scheduled payment structure i.e. Kids’ Care, Trips & Excursions.
